A Lightly Lemon Cake

My mother loves lemon cake and she usually asks for one on her birthday.

This year she broke tradition and asked for a chocolate and vanilla cake and my middle son was so disappointed. I didn't realize he enjoyed the lemon cake too until he asked if he could make one for his own birthday.

Of course I said sure and I searched all over Pinterest reading all sorts of different lemon cake recipes until finally deciding we'd take our favorite vanilla cake recipe and add in some lemon pudding mix and fresh lemon zest. It was the perfect lemon cake with a light lemon taste and rich buttercream frosting.
